Abstract
Autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (ASCT) has been used for more than five decades to treat malignant and non-malignant diseases. Successful engraftment after high-dose chemotherapy relies on the ability to collect sufficient CD34 + hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs), typically from peripheral blood after mobilization. Commonly, either granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) alone as a single agent (i.e. steady-state mobilization) or G-CSF after chemotherapy is administered to collect adequate numbers of HPCs (minimum ≥2 × 106 CD34 + cells/kg for one ASCT; optimal up to 5 × 106 CD34 + cells/kg). However, a significant proportion of patients fail successful HPC mobilization, which is commonly defined as a CD34+ cell count below 10-15/µL after at least 4 days of 10 µg/kg b.w. G-CSF alone, or after chemo-mobilization in combination with 5-10 µg/kg b.w. G-CSF. In these situations plerixafor, a chemokine receptor inhibitor (CXCR4) can be used to enhance HPC collection in patients with multiple myeloma and malignant lymphoma whose cells mobilize poorly. Risk factors for poor mobilization have been evaluated and several strategies (e.g. plerixafor to rescue the mobilization approach or pre-emptive use) have been suggested to optimize mobilization, especially in patients at risk. This manuscript discusses the risk factors of poor CD34+ mobilization and summarizes the current strategies to optimize mobilization and HPC collection.

Abstract
Purpose To analyze the factors affecting the mobilization efficiency of hematopoietic stem cells and hematopoietic reconstruction indicators during autologous peripheral hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 54 patients who underwent autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell mobilization and transplantation at Xuzhou Central Hospital from May 2016 to April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The gender, age, disease type, mobilization regimen, number of chemotherapy sessions, G-CSF (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) dosage, and platelet number at the time of collection were also collected. Moreover, the relationship between these indicators with mobilization results and hematopoietic reconstruction was analyzed. Results Results showed that age, disease type, and number of collections were significantly related to the mobilization results (number of CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells). Furthermore, multivariate analysis showed that the number of collections was an independent factor affecting mobilization efficiency. Similarly, age, platelet value at the time of collection, CD34+ stem cell value during collection, white blood cell count, and number of chemotherapy times were significantly related to the time of megakaryocytic hematopoietic reconstruction. Multifactor analysis found that age and platelet count were independent factors affecting the reconstruction time of the megakaryocytic system. However, no factor was related to the time of granulocyte hematopoietic reconstruction. Conclusion Platelet count and age when collecting hematopoietic stem cells are closely related to megakaryocytic hematopoietic reconstruction and are key indicators of early hematopoietic reconstruction after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
With 54 new drugs and seven cellular and gene therapy products, the approvals by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recovered 2023 from the 2022 dent back to the levels of 2020-2021. As in previous years of this annual review, we assign these new drugs to one of three levels of innovation: first drug against a condition ("first-in-indication"), first drug using a novel molecular mechanism ("first-in-class"), and "next-in-class," i.e., a drug using an already exploited molecular mechanism. We identify four (7%) "first-in-indication," 22 (36%) "first-in-class," and 35 (57%) "next-in-class" drugs. By treatment area, rare diseases (54%) and cancer drugs (23%) were once again the most prevalent (and partly overlapping) therapeutic areas. Other continuing trends were the use of accelerated regulatory approval pathways and the reliance on biopharmaceuticals (biologics). 2023 marks the approval of a first therapy based on CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite recent advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma, high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) remains an essential therapeutic keystone. As for the stem cell mobilization procedure, different regimens have been established, usually consisting of a cycle of chemotherapy followed by application of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), although febrile neutropenia is a common complication. Following national guidelines, our institution decided to primarily use G-CSF only mobilization during the COVID-19 pandemic to minimize the patients' risk of infection and to reduce the burden on the health system. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS In this retrospective single-center analysis, the efficacy and safety of G-CSF only mobilization was evaluated and compared to a historic control cohort undergoing chemotherapy-based mobilization by cyclophosphamide and etoposide (CE) plus G-CSF. RESULTS Although G-CSF only was associated with a higher need for plerixafor administration (p < .0001) and a higher number of apheresis sessions per patient (p = .0002), we were able to collect the target dose of hematopoietic stem cells in the majority of our patients. CE mobilization achieved higher hematopoietic stem cell yields (p = .0015) and shorter apheresis sessions (p < .0001) yet was accompanied by an increased risk of febrile neutropenia (p < .0001). There was no difference in engraftment after ASCT. DISCUSSION G-CSF only mobilization is a useful option in selected patients with comorbidities and an increased risk of serious infections, especially in the wintertime or in future pandemics.

Abstract
The psychological side effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor mobilization in related donors of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) and impacts of psychological/physical side effects on harvest outcomes remain largely unknown. We prospectively analyzed 349 consecutive related peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donors for allo-HCT at the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine from March 2021 to August 2023. Higher baseline peripheral blood white blood cell counts (p = 0.046), monocyte counts (p < 0.001), platelet counts (p = 0.001), and hemoglobin (p < 0.001) had a positive correlation to CD34+ cell counts in the first leukapheresis, while female donors (male vs. female, p < 0.001) and older age (> 40 vs. < = 40, p = 0.003) were negatively related to CD34+ cell counts. Bone pain was the most observed physical side effect and was more frequent in female donors (p = 0.032). The incidence of fatigue was higher in female donors and older donors (female vs. male, p = 0.016; > 40 vs. < = 40, p = 0.015). Donor depression (pre vs. during mobilization, p < 0.001), anxiety (pre vs. during mobilization, p = 0.043) and insomnia (pre vs. during mobilization, p = 0.011) scores increased during the mobilization period. Donors with higher depression, anxiety and stress scores at admission were more likely to experience nausea. At 1 month after the last leukapheresis, the counts of white blood cell, neutrophil, monocyte and hemoglobin were significant lower than baseline counts, while the platelet counts recovered to baseline. The mobilization and harvest process can increase the depression, anxiety and insomnia scores. Poor psychological status of the donor can aggravate the occurrence of physical side effects.

Abstract
Achieving successful hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) relies on two fundamental pillars: effective mobilization and efficient collection through apheresis to attain the optimal graft dose. These cornerstones pave the way for enhanced patient outcomes. The primary challenges encountered by the clinical unit and collection facility within a transplant program encompass augmenting mobilization efficiency to optimize the harvest of target cell populations, implementing robust monitoring and predictive strategies for mobilization, streamlining the apheresis procedure to minimize collection duration while ensuring adequate yield, prioritizing patient comfort by reducing the overall collection time, guaranteeing the quality and purity of stem cell products to optimize graft function and transplant success, and facilitating seamless coordination between diverse entities involved in the HSCT process. In this review, we aim to address key questions and provide insights into the critical aspects of mobilizing and collecting hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation purposes.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) stands as the second most prevalent hematological malignancy, constituting approximately 10% of all hematological malignancies. Current guidelines recommend upfront autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for transplant-eligible MM patients. This study seeks to delineate factors influencing post-ASCT outcomes in MM patients. Our cohort comprised 150 MM patients from Taipei Veterans General Hospital, with progression-free survival (PFS) as the primary endpoint and overall survival (OS) as the secondary endpoint. A Cox proportional hazards model was employed to discern potential predictive factors for survival. ASCT age ≥ 65 (hazard ratio [HR] 1.94, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08-3.47) and the presence of extramedullary disease (HR 2.53, 95% CI 1.53-4.19) negatively impacted PFS. Conversely, treatment response ≥ VGPR before ASCT (HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.31-0.87) and total CD34+ cells collected ≥ 4 × 106 cells/kg on the first stem cell harvesting (HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.32-0.87) were positively associated with PFS. For OS, patients with ISS stage III (HR 2.06, 95% CI 1.05-4.04), the presence of extramedullary disease (HR 3.92, 95% CI 2.03-7.58), light chain ratio ≥ 100 before ASCT (HR 7.08, 95% CI 1.45-34.59), post-ASCT cytomegalovirus infection (HR 9.43, 95% CI 3.09-28.84), and a lower conditioning melphalan dose (< 140 mg/m2; HR 2.75, 95% CI 1.23-6.17) experienced shorter OS. In contrast, post-ASCT day + 15 absolute monocyte counts (D15 AMC) > 500/µl (HR 0.36, 95% CI 0.17-0.79) and post-ASCT day + 15 platelet counts (D15 PLT) > 80,000/µl (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.24-0.94) were correlated with improved OS. Significantly, early PLT and AMC recovery on day + 15 predicting longer OS represents a novel finding not previously reported. Other factors also align with previous studies. Our study provides real-world insights for post-ASCT outcome prediction beyond clinical trials.

Ann Hematol 2024:10.1007/s00277-024-05683-2. [PMID: 38448787 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-024-05683-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The roles of Lenalidomide (Len) and Daratumumab (Dara) in multiple myeloma treatment are well-established, yet their influences on hematopoietic stem cell harvesting and reconstitution remain disputed. METHODS We conducted a systematic database review to identify cohort studies or RCTs evaluating the effect of the use of Len or Dara on hematopoietic stem cell collection and peripheral blood count recovery in multiple myeloma patients. Effects on hematopoietic collection or reconstitution were estimated by comparing standardized mean differences (SMD) and mean differences (MD), or median differences. RESULTS Eighteen relevant studies were identified, summarizing mobilization results. For Len, data from 13 studies were summarized, including total CD34+ cell yield, collection failure rate, and time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment. Results indicated that Len exposure led to decreased stem cell collection [SMD=-0.23, 95% CI (-0.34, -0.12)]. However, collection failure (<2×106) could be mitigated by plerixafor [OR=2.14, 95% CI (0.96, 4.77)]. For Dara, two RCTs and three cohort studies were included, showing that Dara exposure resulted in a reduction in total stem cells even with optimized plerixafor mobilization [SMD=-0.75, 95% CI (-1.26, -0.23)], and delayed platelet engraftment recovery [MD=1.20, 95% CI (0.73, 1.66)]. CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis offers a comprehensive view of Len and Dara's impacts on hematopoietic stem cell collection and reconstitution in multiple myeloma. Len usage could lead to reduced stem cell collection, counteracted by plerixafor mobilization. Dara usage could result in diminished stem cell collection and delayed platelet engraftment.

Cytotherapy 2024; 26:171-177. [PMID: 37930293 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcyt.2023.09.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS Since the standardization of CD34 measurement by flow cytometry, predictors of leukapheresis CD34 yield have played a pivotal role in planning donor leukaphereses. We describe here a single institution's experience with a multivariate predictor that was used for 2,929 products without alteration for 20 years. METHODS The ordinary least squares regression model variables included log peripheral CD34 count, collection duration (3- versus 4-hours), collection number, donor sex, and transplant type. RESULTS During the study period we changed flow cytometers twice and leukapheresis instruments once. During the Cobe Spectra era the predictor explained 90% of the variability in CD34 collection yield for autologous transplants (r2 = 0.90), and 70% for allogeneic transplants with an overall sensitivity to predict a CD34 yield of ≥ 1 × 106/kg of 97.7%, and specificity of 81.4%. CONCLUSIONS Implemented prospectively with real-time result reporting, the model allowed us to predict CD34 yield with both 3- and 4-hour collection scenarios. Given this guidance, 3-hour collections were selected by the clinical team 25% of the time, saving patient leukapheresis time and resources. When faced with a prediction of < 1 × 106 CD34/kg, the clinical team chose to defer collection 72% of the time. In instances where leukapheresis was performed despite a poor predicted outcome, 85% of patients collected on the Cobe Spectra, and 92% of patients collected on the Optia, failed to collect at least 1 × 106 CD34/kg. A revised model is tested retrospectively on Optia data, and suggestions for further improvements are discussed.

Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Counts of the Leukapheresis Product Determined Using Sysmex XN Analyzers Predict a Sufficient Number of CD34 + Stem Cells in a Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Harvest for Autologous Transplantation. Intern Med 2024; 63:189-195.

Abstract
Objective Several institutions outsource CD34+ cell counting of leukapheresis products, limiting rapid measurements, as results are obtained the next day. This problem is compounded with plerixafor use, a stem cell-mobilizing drug that increases leukapheresis efficiency but requires administration the day before leukapheresis. Use of this drug for a second leukapheresis procedure before the first-day leukapheresis CD34+ count results are confirmed causes unnecessary leukapheresis and expensive plerixafor administration. We investigated whether or not measuring hematopoietic progenitor cells in leukapheresis products (AP-HPCs) using a Sysmex XN-series analyzer could resolve this problem. Methods We retrospectively compared the absolute AP-HPC value per body weight with the CD34+ (AP-CD34+) count in 96 first-day leukapheresis product samples obtained between September 2013 and January 2021. Comparisons were also conducted according to regimen: granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) monotherapy, chemotherapy plus G-CSF, or plerixafor mobilization. Results AP-CD34+ and AP-HPC counts correlated strongly (rs=0.846) overall and, in particular, under chemotherapy plus G-CSF (rs=0.92) but correlated mildly under G-CSF monotherapy (rs=0.655). AP-HPCs could not completely be dichotomized based on an AP-CD34+ threshold of 2×106/kg for any stimulation procedure. In most cases with AP-HPCs >6×106/kg, the AP-CD34+ count exceeded 2.0×106/kg, but in 5.7% of these cases, the AP-CD34+ count was <2.0×106/kg. A cut-off of AP-HPCs >4.843×106/kg yielded a sensitivity of 71% and specificity of 96% for predicting AP-CD34+≥2×106/kg. Conclusion AP-HPCs can identify cases in which sufficient stem cells have been collected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plerixafor is a bicyclam molecule with the ability to reversibly bind to receptor CXCR-4 thus leading to an increased release of stem cells (SC) into the circulation. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of G-CSF plus plerixafor versus G-CSF alone mobilizing regimens on the basis of CD34+ cell yield and engraftment kinetics following hematopoietic SC transplants. METHODS The study incorporated 173 patients with plasma cell neoplasms (PCN), Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), undergoing mobilization and following autologous SC-transplant. For patients with mobilization failure and those predicted to be at risk of harvesting inadequate CD34+ yields (poor-responders), plerixafor was administered. Data was collected and compared in relation to the harvesting protocols used, cell quantification, cell-engraftment potential and overall clinical outcome. RESULTS A total of 101 patients received plerixafor (58.4 %) and the median CD34+increase was 312 %. Chemotherapy-mobilized PCN-patients required less plerixafor administration (p = 0.01), no difference was observed in lymphoma groups (p = 0.46). The median CD34+cell yield was 7.8 × 106/kg bm. Patients requiring plerixafor achieved lower, but still comparable cell yields. Total cell dose infused was in correlation with engraftment kinetics. Patients requiring plerixafor had delayed platelet engraftment (p = 0.029). CONCLUSIONS Adequately selected plerixafor administration reduces "mobilization-related-failure" rate and assure a high-level cell dose for SC transplants, with superior "therapeutic-potential" and safety profile. The mobilization strategy that incorporates "just-in-time" plerixafor administration, also leads to a reduction of hospitalization days and healthcare resource utilization. For definitive conclusions, further controlled/larger clinical trials concerning correlation of CD34+ cell count/yield, with hematopoietic reconstitution are required.

Abstract
Germline genetic variants alter the coding and enhancer sequences of GATA2, which encodes a master regulator of hematopoiesis. The conserved murine Gata2 enhancer (+9.5) promotes hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) genesis during embryogenesis. Heterozygosity for a single-nucleotide Ets motif variant in the human enhancer creates a bone marrow failure and acute myeloid leukemia predisposition termed GATA2 deficiency syndrome. The homozygous murine variant attenuates chemotherapy- and transplantation-induced hematopoietic regeneration, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) response to inflammation, and HSPC mobilization with the therapeutic mobilizer granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Because a Gata2 +9.5 variant attenuated G-CSF-induced HSPC expansion and mobilization, and HSC transplantation therapies require efficacious mobilization, we tested whether variation affects mechanistically distinct mobilizers or only those operating through select pathways. In addition to affecting G-CSF activity, Gata2 variation compromised IL-8/CXCR2- and VLA-4/VCAM1-induced mobilization. Although the variation did not disrupt HSPC mobilization mediated by plerixafor, which functions through CXCR4/CXCL12, homozygous and heterozygous variation attenuated mobilization efficacy of the clinically used plerixafor/G-CSF combination. The influence of noncoding variation on HSPC mobilization efficacy and function is important clinically because comprehensive noncoding variation is not commonly analyzed in patients. Furthermore, our mobilization-defective system offers unique utility for elucidating fundamental HSPC mechanisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to clarify the effectiveness and safety of two different infusion durations of cyclophosphamide (CTX) plus granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) for peripheral blood stem cell mobilization in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). METHODS One hundred and fifty-six consecutive NDMM patients receiving CTX plus G-CSF mobilization and autologous stem cell transplantation during the period of September 2008 to May 2020 were selected for retrospective analysis. According to differences in prolonged infusion time of CTX, they were divided into a 24-h group (24-h continuous infusion) and a control group (4-6 h of infusion). Mobilization and safety of infusion were analyzed. Flow cytometry was used to detect the peripheral blood CD34+ cell count. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine the factors influencing the number of CD34+ cells. RESULTS The mean CD34+ cell counts collected in 24-h and control groups were 6.78 (interquartile range [IQR] 3.59-11.69) and 4.48 (IQR 2.39-6.30) ×106/kg, respectively (p < 0.001). Meanwhile, the target number of CD34+ cells/kg (defined as ≥4 × 106/kg) was collected from 51 (75%) of cases in 24-h group vs. 45 (51%) in the control group (p = 0.002). Multivariate analysis identified the independence of CTX infusion time as a factor influencing the target number of CD34+ cells/kg [odds ratio OR, 4.045; 95% CI: 1.630-10.038, p = 0.003]. The post-transplantation time to neutrophil engraftment was 10 (IQR 9-11) in 24-h group and 11 (IQR 10-12) in control group (p < 0.001). Finally, no statistical differences were identified between groups in terms of hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities. CONCLUSIONS For patients with NDMM, 24-h continuous infusion of CTX plus G-CSF contributes to improved mobilization efficiency and equivalent toxicity as a stem cell mobilization regimen.

The effect of mobilizing large numbers of CD34 + cells (super-mobilizers) on the engraftment and survival in patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation. Transfus Apher Sci 2023; 62:103787. [PMID: 37704508 DOI: 10.1016/j.transci.2023.103787] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023]
Abstract
With the use of plerixafor in addition to growth factor for peripheral blood stem cell mobilization, the yield of autologous stem cell harvest has been higher while the length of apheresis days has become shorter. There is still debate whether higher cell collection efficacy in autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) affect outcomes. In this retrospective study, we defined two groups of patients, group 1, super-mobilizers, with more than double the target cell dose collected (n = 15), while group 2 included all other patients (n = 75). Multiple myeloma (MM) and lymphoma patients were combined. Patients with chemo-mobilization, those needed more than one day apheresis, or with less than 100 days after ASCT were excluded. Correlations were performed between cell collection efficacy and post thaw CD34 cell viability (by 7AAD flow cytometry method), product HCT, and engraftment of neutrophils and platelets. We performed multiple linear regression using the above variables in addition to age, sex and disease type. We used Kaplan Meier's curves to show effect of cell collection efficacy on 1-year overall survival (OS). Our results show that all super-mobilizers received plerixafor in addition to G-CSF, while 83% did in group 2. Correlations between cell collection efficacy and neutrophil and platelet engraftment in group 1 and 2 was modest and better in group 1 (R=0.449 Vs 0.233 for neutrophils; R=0.464 Vs 0.110 for platelets, respectively). However, multiple linear regression showed statistically significant association between cell collection, as a continuous variable, with disease type (P < 0.001), product HCT (P < 0.001), post thaw viability (P = 0.003), and age (P = 0.013). MM patients were more likely to be super-mobilizers, while the product HCT was higher in the super-mobilizers. No significant effect of cell collection efficacy was found on engraftment of neutrophils or platelets. With relatively short post ASCT follow up, 6 patients in group 2 died of any cause while no deaths were recorded in the super-mobilizers group (P = 0.1892 by log-rank test). In conclusion, stem cell collection efficacy in ASCT is more frequent in MM than lymphoma patients, but is not predictive of faster engraftment. On the other hand, 1-year OS was 100% in the super-mobilizers group versus 93% in the other group.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Poor CD34 + cells mobilization in allogeneic donors could affect transplant outcome. In a subgroup of patient mobilization with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) alone is unsatisfactory, and Plerixafor could be used to enhance CD34 + cells release from bone marrow niche. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective single-center, cohort study on healthy allogeneic donors both related and unrelated, treated by Udine Transfusion Center over the last 10 years (2012-2022). In the 195 allogeneic donors treated we analyzed age, sex, body weight, BMI, comorbidities, G-CSF dosage and even baseline white blood cell count as possible predictor of insufficient CD34 + cells mobilization on day 5. In the subgroup of related donors we evaluated even baseline CD34 + cells (measured before mobilization start). Processed donor blood volume, collection efficiency and apheresis product were examined. Additionally a comparative analysis was conducted between G-CSF alone treated donors and poor mobilizing ones, in which Plerixafor was administered at a dose of 0.24 mg/kg as a pre-emptive or rescue agent. RESULTS In 9 donors, due to poor mobilization (defined as CD34 + < 20/µL or estimated yield < 1 ×106 kg/recipient body weight), the use of plerixafor was necessary. PLX at a dose of 0.24 mg/kg was administered 5 h before collection, inducing an average increase of 5.1 (1.7-12.6) in CD34 + circulating cells. In this subgroup of patients, BMI and weight were significantly lower (p = 0.03). Interestingly, baseline CD34 + cells (measured before the onset of mobilization) also seems to predict poor mobilization (p = 0.003). In donors additionally treated with Plerixafor compared to those who received G-CSF alone, collection efficiency was higher (p = 0.02) and CD34 + cells collected were comparable (p = 0.2). Side effects related to the administration of plerixafor, if they occurred, were well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS Plerixafor is a safe and effective drug in the rescue and prevention of poor mobilization. New prospective studies on allogeneic donors should be performed to increase the treatable population to avoid inadequate collection and mobilization. New laboratory predictors such as baseline CD34 + cells should be investigated in larger cohorts and then used as early screening.

Serin I, Sevindik OG, Balik Aydin B, Melek E, Mutlu YG, Bilgen H, Bekoz H, Kaynar L. Plerixafor in autologous stem cell transplantation: Does it affect engraftment kinetics? Transfus Apher Sci 2023; 62:103809. [PMID: 37690861 DOI: 10.1016/j.transci.2023.103809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2023] [Revised: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
Plerixafor increases stem cell mobilization by reversibly binding to the chemokine receptor CXCR4. In our study, we examined the results of mobilization with plerixafor and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and revealed their effects on autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) engraftment kinetics. The study included all cases of ASCT performed in the Adult Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit of xxx University between January 2014 and January 2022. It included a total of 300 patients. The total number of CD34 + cells collected was 7.44 ± 4.19 in patients with plerixafor and 9.53 ± 6.09 in patients without plerixafor. The mean neutrophil and platelet engraftment took longer in plerixafor-mobilized patients (neutrophil: 12 ± 4.1 vs. 10.2 ± 2.7 days; platelet: 21.6 ± 13.9 vs. 14.2 ± 5.9 days; p = 0.008 and p = 0.002). The number of febrile neutropenia attacks was significantly higher in plerixafor-mobilized patients (p = 0.04). In the chemo-mobilized patient subgroup, plerixafor-mobilized patients experienced more febrile neutropenia attacks (p = 0.04). The mean time to both neutrophil and platelet engraftment was longer in patients mobilized with plerixafor. In the subgroup of patients with MM, the mean time to platelet engraftment was longer in patients mobilized with plerixafor. Plerixafor and its effect on engraftment kinetics should be evaluated with further studies in a larger population with survival analysis.

Abstract
Hematopoetic Stem Cell Transplantation is a life saving procedure which requires mobilization of stem cells for apheresis procedure. In this review we aimed to examine mobilizing agents that are in use and under investigation. Apheresis practitioners who oversee stem cell collections should be familiar with the recent advances in mobilization agents to utilize most up-to-date information for better patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incorporation of anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) in induction regimens of newly diagnosed transplant-eligible multiple myeloma (MM) patients has been established as a new standard. However, the optimal strategy of stem cell mobilization in this context is not yet clear. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS From May 2020 till September 2022, we retrospectively reviewed patients receiving anti-CD38 mAb-based induction therapy followed by stem cell mobilization either in a steady-state protocol (SSM) using 10 μg/kg granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) for 5 days or in a chemotherapy-based protocol (CM) using 1-4 g/m2 cyclophosphamide and G-CSF. RESULTS Overall, 85 patients (median age 61 years) were included in the analysis. In total, 90 mobilization attempts were performed, 42 with SSM and 48 with CM. There was no significant difference in the median concentration of CD34+ cells in peripheral blood (PB) prior to apheresis between SSM and CM (61/μL vs. 55.4/μL; p = .60). Cumulative CD34+ yields did not differ between the groups with median of 6.68 and 6.75 × 106 /kg body weight, respectively (p = .35). The target yield (≥4 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg body weight) was reached in 88% (CM) and 86% (SSM), with a high proportion even after a single apheresis session (76% vs. 75%). Plerixafor was found to be more frequently used in SSM (52%) than in CM (23%; p < .01). A total of 83 patients underwent autologous transplantation and all were engrafted. CONCLUSIONS Stem cell collection in patients undergoing anti-CD38-based induction therapy is feasible with either CM or SSM, although SSM more frequently requires plerixafor.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION According to previous data, higher yields of stem-cells collected to support autologous transplantation may predict for improved outcomes. We aimed to assess the association between high stem-cells collection and survival outcomes in multiple myeloma (MM) MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed all patients who underwent autologous transplantation for MM at our center over a 10-year period, and initially used a predefined threshold of 8 × 106/kg used in previous studies. RESULTS Six hundred twenty-one patients were analyzed. Higher mobilization did not correlate with favorable outcomes post-transplant. The most efficient mobilizers, collecting ≥8 × 106/kg (n = 478) achieved a shorter median progression-free survival (PFS) of 24.1m versus 34.5m in patients collecting 4.5 to 8 × 106/kg (n = 129). A small group (n = 14) collecting ≤4.5 × 106/kg but minimum of 2 × 106/kg to support autologous transplantation exhibited the worst outcomes (median PFS 11.4m). Further analysis of potential confounders identified greater use of bortezomib induction in the lower mobilizers, however, sensitivity analysis in patients receiving bortezomib revealed similar results- worst outcomes to the most efficient mobilizers. CONCLUSION Although bortezomib is not considered stem-cell toxic, it may be associated with lower stem cell collection yields. Bortezomib's efficacy at induction may partially explain the improved outcomes, however, other factors may be involved, and are discussed. We can conclude that with our large cohort and long follow-up, high stem-cell mobilization does not appear to predict for a long-term survival advantage.

Transfusion 2023; 63:2120-2130. [PMID: 37792312 DOI: 10.1111/trf.17563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Large-volume leukapheresis (LVL) refers to processing of more than three volumes of blood in a single session for peripheral blood stem cell collection. Recently, continuous mononuclear cell collection (cMNC) protocol has been developed using the Spectra Optia system, which is a widely used apheresis device. LVL using the novel protocol has been investigated in patients. However, the efficiency and safety of LVL in healthy donors using this protocol has not been characterized. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficiency and tolerability of CD34+ collection of LVL with the cMNC protocol in healthy donors. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We retrospectively collected data on LVL (>3 total blood volume) and normal-volume leukapheresis (NVL) performed in healthy donors between October 2019 and December 2021. All procedures were performed using the cMNC protocol. RESULTS Although pre-apheresis CD34+ cell count was lesser in LVL (23.5 vs. 58.0/μL, p < .001), CD34+ collection efficiency was comparable between LVL and NVL (61.2% vs. 61.4%, p = .966). Platelet loss was significantly higher in LVL compared to NVL (38.0% vs. 29.4%, p < .001), with no correlation between attrition of platelet and processing blood volume. Moreover, the incidence of citrate toxicity during procedures was comparable between the two groups (31.6% vs. 21.4%, p = .322). All LVL procedures could be completed without any adverse events. CONCLUSION Allogeneic LVL procedure using Spectra Optia cMNC protocol was well tolerated by the donors and resulted in efficient collection of CD34+ cells, which was comparable to that of NVL.

Abstract
Motixafortide (APHEXDATM) is a selective C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) inhibitor being developed by BioLineRx under licence from Biokine Therapeutics for the mobilization of haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and the treatment of various cancers. On 11 September 2023, motixafortide was approved in the USA for use in combination with filgrastim [granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)] to mobilize HSCs to the peripheral blood for collection and subsequent autologous transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma. Motixafortide has been granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of pancreatic cancer in the EU and the USA, and for the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia in the USA. Clinical development is ongoing for the mobilization of CD34+ HSCs for gene therapy in patients with sickle cell disease. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of motixafortide leading to this first approval.

Abstract
Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT) is increasingly used to treat hematological malignancies. A key requisite for ASCT is mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells into peripheral blood, where they are collected by apheresis and stored for later transplantation. However, success is often hindered by poor mobilization due to factors including prior treatments. The combination of G-CSF and GPC-100, a small molecule antagonist of CXCR4, showed potential in a multiple myeloma clinical trial for sufficient and rapid collection of CD34+ stem cells, compared to the historical results from the standards of care, G-CSF alone or G-CSF with plerixafor, also a CXCR4 antagonist. In the present study, we show that GPC-100 has high affinity towards the chemokine receptor CXCR4, and it potently inhibits β-arrestin recruitment, calcium flux and cell migration mediated by its ligand CXCL12. Proximity Ligation Assay revealed that in native cell systems with endogenous receptor expression, CXCR4 co-localizes with the beta-2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR). Co-treatment with CXCL12 and the β2AR agonist epinephrine synergistically increases β-arrestin recruitment to CXCR4 and calcium flux. This increase is blocked by the co-treatment with GPC-100 and propranolol, a non-selective beta-adrenergic blocker, indicating a functional synergy. In mice, GPC-100 mobilized more white blood cells into peripheral blood compared to plerixafor. GPC-100 induced mobilization was further amplified by propranolol pretreatment and was comparable to mobilization by G-CSF. Addition of propranolol to the G-CSF and GPC-100 combination resulted in greater stem cell mobilization than the G-CSF and plerixafor combination. Together, our studies suggest that the combination of GPC-100 and propranolol is a novel strategy for stem cell mobilization and support the current clinical trial in multiple myeloma registered as NCT05561751 at www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Abstract
Introduction Successful mobilization and collection of peripheral hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are necessary for lymphoma patients eligible for myeloablative chemotherapy with subsequent autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Albeit G-CSF alone or combined with chemotherapy is well-established methods for HSC mobilization, up to 40% of the patients fail to mobilize (poor mobilizer, PM). Plerixafor (PLX) is commonly used in PM patients resulting in increased migration of HSCs into peripheral blood and thus improves the collection outcome. Methods The prospective, multicenter, open-label, non-interventional OPTIMOB study assessed mobilization and collection parameter of patients with lymphoma or multiple myeloma to get deep insights in the treatment of those patients in clinical routine focusing on PM patients. PM was defined as follows: (1) no achievement of ≥20 CD34+ progenitor cells/µL before first apheresis, (2) PLX administration at any time point during the observational period, (3) reduction of the initially planned CD34+ progenitor cell yield as necessity due to failed mobilization or HSC collection, and (4) no performance of apheresis due to low CD34+ progenitor level. Primary objective of the study was to assess mobilization success by the proportion of PM patients achieving >2 × 106 CD34+ progenitor cells/kg body weight on the first day of apheresis. Here, the data of the lymphoma cohort are presented. Results Out of 238 patients with lymphoma documented in the study, 32% were classified as PM. 87% of them received PLX. Demographic data revealed no obvious differences between PM and good mobilizing (GM) patients. All patients were treated highly individualized prior to mobilization. Majority of all PM patients were able to undergo apheresis (95%) and reached their individual requested CD34+ progenitor cell target (72%). 57% of the PM patients achieved >2.0 × 106 CD34+ progenitor cells/kg body weight on day 1 of apheresis and nearby 70% of them underwent ASCT. Median time to engraftment was similar in PM and GM patients of the lymphoma cohort. Conclusions Majority of PM patients with lymphoma were successfully mobilized and underwent ASCT. Most of them received PLX during the study.

Trends in utilization of stored cryopreserved autologous peripheral hematopoietic cells intended for a second (or beyond) autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma: a single center experience. Bone Marrow Transplant 2023; 58:1130-1136. [PMID: 37479753 PMCID: PMC10555832 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-023-02035-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 06/04/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
Due to the advent of effective novel therapies for multiple myeloma (MM), the use of cryopreserved autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic cells (APBHC) for a salvage autologous transplant (auto-HCT) is in decline. We evaluated utilization trends and costs associated with cryopreserved APBHC in patients with MM. We retrospectively evaluated the clinicopathologic data from 440 patients with MM who underwent APBHC mobilization and collection at Mayo Clinic Florida between 2010 and 2019. Based on institution-specific charges as of May 2021, the cost of 1 session of APBHC collection/apheresis was $4,680 and the cost of 1 year of APBHC cryopreservation was $4,790 per patient. Out of 347 patients who had APBHC in cryopreservation, 5 (1.4%) underwent a salvage auto-HCT and 61% of patients had ≥1 excess collection sessions for APBHC that ultimately went unused. The median cost of excess collection sessions was $4,680 per patient (range, $4,680-$32,760) and the median total cost for excess collection sessions plus costs for storage was $23,840 per patient (range, $4,680-$85,450). The sum of costs of excess collection sessions was $2,077,920 and the sum of costs of cryopreservation was $5,812,665. Institutional policies regarding universal APBHC collection and long-term storage should be reevaluated in the era of novel therapeutics.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:4783. [PMID: 37835477 PMCID: PMC10572075 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15194783] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
To explore the optimal mobilization for multiple myeloma (MM) patients, we conducted a prospective trial comparing single-dose etoposide (375 mg/m2 for one day) plus G-CSF versus G-CSF alone, followed by risk-adapted plerixafor. After randomization, 27 patients in the etoposide group and 29 patients in the G-CSF alone group received mobilizations. Six (22.2%) patients in the etoposide group and 15 (51.7%) patients in the G-CSF alone group received plerixafor based on a peripheral blood CD34+ cell count of < 15/mm3 (p = 0.045). The median count of CD34+ cells collected was significantly higher in the etoposide group (9.5 × 106/kg vs. 7.9 × 106/kg; p = 0.018), but the optimal collection rate (CD34+ cells ≥ 6 × 106/kg) was not significantly different between the two groups (96.3% vs. 82.8%; p = 0.195). The rate of CD34+ cells collected of ≥ 8.0 × 106/kg was significantly higher in the etoposide group (77.8% vs. 44.8%; p = 0.025). Although the rates of grade II-IV thrombocytopenia (63.0% vs. 31.0%; p = 0.031) and grade I-IV nausea (14.8% vs. 0%; p = 0.048) were significantly higher in the etoposide group, the rates of adverse events were low in both groups, with no neutropenic fever or septic shock. Thus, both single-dose etoposide plus G-CSF and G-CSF alone with risk-adapted plerixafor were effective and safe, but the former may be the better option for patients who are expected to receive two or more transplantations.

Sci Rep 2023; 13:14952. [PMID: 37696885 PMCID: PMC10495341 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-42159-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/06/2023] [Indexed: 09/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Optimized management of citrate-induced hypocalcemia is required to provide safe leukapheresis. We prospectively analyzed subjects who underwent leukapheresis for cytotherapy, and evaluated serum ionized (iCa) concentrations before, at the end of, and 1 h after leukapheresis. During leukapheresis, calcium gluconate solution was continuously supplemented intravenously with hourly measurement of iCa. 76 patients including 49 lymphapheresis for chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy and 27 stem cell collections were enrolled. Median processing blood volume was 10 L (range, 6-15 L). Fluctuating hypercalcemia, in which the iCa concentration rose above its upper limit 1 h after leukapheresis, was observed in 58 subjects (76.3%). Multivariate analysis revealed that higher ratios of processing blood volume to body weight, more rapid calcium supplementation, and lower iCa concentration at the end of leukapheresis significantly increased elevation of serum iCa concentration by 1 h after leukapheresis. Based on multivariate analyses, we developed a formula and a diagram that accurately estimates serum iCa concentration 1 h post-leukapheresis. This suggests optimal targets for iCa concentration and calcium supplementation rates. In cases with high ratios of processing blood volume to body weight, slowing the rate of blood processing, rather than increasing calcium supplementation should safely alleviate hypocalcemia during leukapheresis without inducing hypercalcemia thereafter.

Abstract
In this review, we discuss recipient risk assessment for allo-HCT regarding comorbidities present at baseline to predict non relapse mortality. We further reviewed the incorporation of remission status and cytogenetic risk prior to allograft transplantation to predict relapse rates for hematologic malignancies. HCT-CI and DRI are tools available to physicians to assess the risk-benefit of allo-HCT in patients referred for transplantation. Next, we discuss our algorithm for donor selection and criteria for donor selection in case matched donors are not available. Finally, we discuss our approach for stem cell mobilization, especially in donors failing G-CSF, and our approach for the use of plerixafor and data supporting its use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) is a widely used therapy for lymphoma patients and can nowadays be performed on an outpatient basis. This study aimed to describe transfusion support in lymphoma patients undergoing ASCT and identify increased or prolonged transfusion requirement predictors. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study of all consecutive lymphoma patients undergoing ASCT between 2010 and 2020. RESULTS Out of 226 patients, 145 (64%) received red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, whereas all 226 (100%) required platelet transfusion (PT). Transfusions between Day +1 and +30 were higher in patients over 60 (2 [1-4] vs. 2 [0-2] RBC; p = 0.001 and 4 [2-8] vs. 3 [2-4] PT; p < 0.001); patients with pre-transplant anaemia (4 [2.5-6] vs. 2 [0-2] RBC; p < 0.001 and 5 [3-9] vs. 3 [2-4] PT; p = 0.001); pre-transplant thrombocytopenia (2 [1-4] vs. 2 [0-2] RBC; p < 0.001 and 4 [3-8.5] vs. 2 [1-3] PT; p < 0.001) or CD34+ cell dose <4 × 106 /kg (2 [0-4] vs. 2 [0-2] RBC; p = 0.024 and 4 [2-6] vs. 2 [1-3.5] PT; p < 0.001). RBC transfusion independence was reached later in patients receiving carmustine, cytarabine, etoposide and melphalan (BEAM) (hazard ratio [HR] 1.6; confidence interval [CI] 1.1-2.3) and those requiring RBC before infusion and/or with pre-transplant anaemia (HR 2.2; CI 1.4-3.4). Age above 60 (HR 1.4; CI 1.0-1.9), BEAM conditioning (HR 1.4; CI 1.0-2.0) and pre-transplant thrombocytopenia and/or requiring PT before infusion (HR 1.8; CI 1.4-2.5) entailed longer time until PT independence. CONCLUSION These four factors (age ≥60 years; BEAM conditioning, CD34+ dose <4 × 106 /kg and pre-transplant cytopenia and/or Day -10 to 0 transfusion) allowed dividing patients into three groups with significant differences between them regarding the time until transfusion independence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS An optimal strategy for mobilizing hematopoietic stem cells in poorly mobilizing patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and lymphoma has not yet been determined. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the efficacy and safety of etoposide combined with cytarabine (etoposide 75 mg/m2, daily d1∼2; Ara-C 300 mg/m2, every 12 h d1∼2), plus pegfilgrastim (6 mg d6) in 32 patients with MM or lymphoma, among whom 53.1% were defined as "proven poor mobilizers." RESULTS This approach resulted in adequate mobilization (≥2.0 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg) in 93.8% of patients and optimal mobilization (≥5.0 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg) in 71.9% of patients. A total of 100% of patients with MM reached at least 5 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg collected, the amount required for double autologous stem cell transplant. In total, 88.2% of patients with lymphoma reached at least 2 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg collected, the amount required for a single autologous stem cell transplant. This was achieved with a single leukapheresis in 78.1% of cases. A median peak number of 42.0/μL circulating CD34+ cells and a median number of blood CD34+ cells counts in 6.7 × 106/L were collected among 30 successful mobilizers. Approximately 6.3% of patients required plerixafor rescue, which was successful. Nine (28.1%) of the 32 patients suffered grade 2∼3 infections, and 50% required platelet transfusions. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that chemo-mobilization with etoposide, Ara-C and pegfilgrastim in poorly mobilizing patients with MM or lymphoma is very effective and has acceptable toxicity.

A novel PEGylated form of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, mecapegfilgrastim, for peripheral blood stem cell mobilization in patients with hematologic malignancies. BMC Cancer 2023; 23:694. [PMID: 37488507 PMCID: PMC10364371 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-11197-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) has longer half-life and is given once only, which is more comfortable for patients. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of mecapegfilgrastim for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) mobilization in patients with hematologic malignancies and to explore the potential factors related to HSC mobilization. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent HSC mobilization in the hematology department of Mianyang Central Hospital from April 2016 to November 2022. The number of CD34 + cells collected was compared between the patients receiving mecapegfilgrastim (PEG group) and those receiving recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF group), and the possible factors for mobilization failure were analyzed. RESULTS The success rates of collecting CD34 + cells in the PEG group and rhG-CSF group were 80.6% and 67.7%, respectively (χ = 1.444, P = 0.229). The median CD34 + cell counts were 3.62 × 10^6/kg and 2.92 × 10^6/kg (P = 0.178), respectively. After combination with plerixafor for mobilization, the median number of CD34 + cells collected in the PEG group and rhG-CSF group were 3.64 × 10^6/kg and 3.92 × 10^6/kg, respectively, with no significant difference (P = 0.754). There was no significant difference in hematopoietic cell recovery or infection between the groups (P > 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that more than 5 cycles of chemotherapy (OR = 15.897, 95% CI: 1.766-143.127, P = 0.014), a precollection WBC count < 32 × 10^9/L (OR = 14.441, 95% CI: 2.180-95.657, P = 0.006) and a precollection to premobilization lymphocyte ratio < 1.7 (OR = 11.388, 95% CI: 2.129-60.915, P = 0.004) were independent risk factors for HSC mobilization failure. CONCLUSIONS The HSC mobilization efficacy of mecapegfilgrastim in patients with hematologic malignancies was comparable to that of rhG-CSF, and combination with plerixafor for mobilization was feasible and effective. Patients with more than 5 cycles of chemotherapy before HSC mobilization, a precollection WBC count lower than 32 × 10^9/L, and a precollection lymphocyte count less than 1.7 times the premobilization lymphocyte count have a high probability of HSC mobilization failure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the long-term consolidation treatment for various hematological malignancies. The collection of hematopoietic stem cell yield is critical to successful ASCTs, but not always achieved due to hematopoietic stem cell mobilization failure (HSCMF). Details regarding the cell collection and outcomes of those who fail mobilization are still lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to yield data on clinical outcomes and cellular products after HSCMF. METHODS Retrospective, unicentric study assessing clinical outcomes and characteristics of collected progenitor cells. The data were collected from patient databases. The results were reported in median, rates and percentages and absolute values. Patients older than 18 years of age at the time of mobilization and HSCMF were included. RESULTS Five hundred ninety-nine patients underwent mobilization protocols. Thirty-five (5.8%) of them failed in the mobilization and fourteen (40%) died. Median time to death was eight months. Disease progression and infection were responsible for all deaths. Median relapse-free survival was 6.5 months (20 patients, 57%). Seven (20%) survivors were receiving salvage therapy and five (14%) were being followed clinically. Six (20.6%) participants underwent collection by apheresis, with insufficient cell collection. The median quantity of peripheral CD34+ cells in those patients was 10.5/mm3. The median CD34+ quantity collected was 0.86 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg. CONCLUSIONS The mobilization failure was associated with limited survival. Nonetheless, collected products offered perspectives for ex vivo expansion. Further studies should investigate the feasibility of expanding collected CD34+ cells to use as grafts for ASCT.

Abstract
From the 1960s to the early 2000s, alkylating agents (e.g., melphalan, cyclophosphamide, and bendamustine) remained a key component of standard therapy for newly-diagnosed or relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). Later on, their associated toxicities (including second primary malignancies) and the unprecedented efficacy of novel therapies have led clinicians to increasingly consider alkylator-free approaches. Meanwhile, new alkylating agents (e.g., melflufen) and new applications of old alkylators (e.g., lymphodepletion before chimeric antigen receptor T-cell [CAR-T] therapy) have emerged in recent years. Given the expanding use of antigen-directed modalities (e.g., monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, and CAR-T therapy), this review explores the current and future role of alkylating agents in different treatment settings (e.g., induction, consolidation, stem cell mobilization, pre-transplant conditioning, salvage, bridging, and lymphodepleting chemotherapy) to ellucidate the role of alkylator-based regimens in modern-day MM management.

Abstract
A consensus threshold of pre-cryopreservation CD34-positive cells (CD34s) has been used as the minimum dose to initiate autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Advances in cryopreservation posed a debate whether post-thaw CD34s might be a superior surrogate instead. We addressed the debate in this retrospective study of 217 adult ASCTs in five different haematological malignancies treated at a single centre. We showed that post-thaw CD34s was highly correlated with pre-cryopreservation CD34s (r = 0.97) and explained ∼2.2% (p = 0.003) of the variation of the post-thaw total nucleated cell viability that however had no power to predict engraftment outcomes. After stratifying the ASCT cases into four dose groups based on post-thaw CD34s reinfused, stepwise multivariate regression analyses detected significant effects in dose group and interactions with diseases for neutrophil and platelet recovery respectively. The significant dose effects and interactions were triggered by two technical outliers in the low dose group, and disappeared in the repeated regressions after exclusion of the outliers where disease and age were the significant predictors remained. Our data clearly support the validity of the consensus threshold in ASCT applications but also highlight neglected conditions where monitoring post-thaw CD34s and clinical attributes are valuable.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intensive chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation is a therapeutic tool used in paediatric oncology. In adult patients, a peripheral blood CD34+ cell count superior to 20/μL enables an adequate collection of peripheral blood stem cells. There are no recommendations for children. This study aimed to determine whether the count of circulating CD34+ cells on the day before cytapheresis predicts successful collection in paediatric patients. METHODS We retrospectively studied all paediatric patients who underwent apheresis for stem cell autotransplantation in the CHU of Rennes between 2010 and 2019. Successful apheresis was defined as a collection superior to 3×106 CD34+/kg. "Success" and "failure" groups were compared. RESULTS In total, 122 apheresis procedures were performed in 105 patients. It was a successful procedure in 81% of patients and a failure in 19% of patients. A minimal cut-off of circulating CD34+ count superior to 13/μL on D-1 allowed us to predict a collection of at least 3×106 CD34+/kg (PPV 94,8%, NPV 51,4%). For children aged<6 years, the association with leucocyte increase during the 5 days before the procedure improved the prediction of success. DISCUSSION The peripheral blood CD34+ cell count is a predictive factor for successful collection in paediatric patients. The minimal cut-off that allows an adequate collection of peripheral blood stem cells is inferior to the minimal cut-off in adult patients. Nevertheless, this minimal number of circulating CD34+ cells is insufficient to predict the success or failure of apheresis in patients younger than 6 years of age.

Abstract
Among hematological malignancies, multiple myeloma (MM) represents the leading indication of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HCT). Auto-HCT is predominantly performed with peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs), and the mobilization and collection of PBSCs are essential steps for auto-HCT. Despite the improved success of conventional methods with the incorporation of novel agents for PBSC mobilization in MM, mobilization failure is still a concern. The current review comprehensively summarizes various mobilization strategies for mobilizing PBSCs in MM patients and the evolution of these strategies over time. Moreover, existing evidence substantiates that the mobilization regimen used may be an important determinant of graft content. However, limited data are available on the effects of graft characteristics in patient outcomes other than hematopoietic engraftment. In this review, we discussed the effect of graft characteristics on clinical outcomes, mobilization failure, factors predictive of poor mobilization, and potential mobilization regimens for such patients.

Benefits of plerixafor for mobilization of peripheral blood stem cells prior to autologous transplantation: a dual-center retrospective cohort study. Cytotherapy 2023:S1465-3249(23)00057-9.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS Before autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), hematopoietic stem cells must be stimulated to move from the bone marrow to the peripheral blood for harvesting. Plerixafor, a C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 antagonist, is used to increase stem cell harvests. However, the effects of plerixafor on post-ASCT outcomes remain unclear. METHODS In a dual-center retrospective cohort study of 43 Japanese patients who received ASCT, the authors compared transplantation outcomes in patients who underwent stem cell mobilization with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor with (n = 25) or without (n = 18) plerixafor. RESULTS The number of days to neutrophil and platelet engraftment was significantly shorter with plerixafor than without plerixafor, as assessed by univariate (neutrophil, P = 0.004, platelet, P = 0.002), subgroup, propensity score matching and inverse probability weighting analyses. Although the cumulative incidence of fever was comparable with or without plerixafor (P = 0.31), that of sepsis was significantly lower with plerixafor than without (P < 0.01). Thus, the present data indicate that plerixafor leads to earlier neutrophil and platelet engraftment and a reduction of infectious risk. CONCLUSIONS The authors conclude that plerixafor may be safe to use and that it reduces the risk of infection in patients with a low CD34+ cell count the day before apheresis.

Abstract
For eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), standard of care includes induction therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Daratumumab as monotherapy and in combination treatment is approved across multiple lines of therapy for multiple myeloma (MM), and lenalidomide is an effective and commonly used agent for induction and maintenance therapy in MM. However, there is concern that lenalidomide and daratumumab given as induction therapy might impair mobilization of stem cells for ASCT. Therefore, we assessed stem cell mobilization in patients following frontline induction therapy in the MASTER and GRIFFIN phase 2 clinical studies by examining stem cell mobilization yields, apheresis attempts, and engraftment outcomes for patients from each study. Adult transplantation-eligible patients with NDMM received induction therapy consisting of daratumumab plus carfilzomib/lenalidomide/dexamethasone (D-KRd) for four 28-day cycles in the single-arm MASTER trial or lenalidomide/bortezomib/dexamethasone (RVd) with or without daratumumab (D) for four 21-day cycles in the randomized GRIFFIN trial, followed by stem cell mobilization and ASCT in both studies. Institutional practice differed regarding plerixafor use for stem cell mobilization; the strategies were upfront (ie, planned plerixafor use) or rescue (ie, plerixafor use only after mobilization parameters indicated failure with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor [G-CSF] alone). Descriptive analyses were used to summarize patient characteristics, stem cell mobilization yields, and engraftment outcomes. In MASTER, 116 D-KRd recipients underwent stem cell mobilization and collection at a median of 24 days after completing induction therapy. In GRIFFIN, 175 patients (D-RVd, n = 95; RVd, n = 80) underwent mobilization at a median of 27 days after completing D-RVd induction therapy and 24 days after completing RVd induction therapy. Among those who underwent mobilization and collection, 7% (8 of 116) of D-KRd recipients, 2% (2 of 95) of D-RVd recipients, and 6% (5 of 80) of RVd recipients did not meet the center-specific minimally required CD34+ cell yield in the first mobilization attempt; however, nearly all collected sufficient stem cells for ASCT on remobilization. Among patients who underwent mobilization, plerixafor use, either upfront or as a rescue strategy, was higher in patients receiving D-KRd (97%; 112 of 116) and D-RVd (72%; 68 of 95) compared with those receiving RVd (55%; 44 of 80). The median total CD34+ cell collection was 6.0 × 106/kg (range, 2.2 to 13.9 × 106/kg) after D-KRd induction, 8.3 × 106/kg (range, 2.6 to 33.0 × 106/kg) after D-RVd induction, and 9.4 × 106/kg (range, 4.1 to 28.7 × 106/kg) after RVd induction; the median days for collection were 2, 2, and 1, respectively. Among patients who underwent mobilization, 98% (114 of 116) of D-KRd patients, 99% (94 of 95) of D-RVd patients, and 98% (78 of 80) of RVd patients underwent ASCT using median CD34+ cell doses of 3.2 × 106/kg, 4.2 × 106/kg, and 4.8 × 106/kg, respectively. The median time to neutrophil recovery was 12 days in all 3 treatment groups across the 2 trials. Because both trials used different criteria to define platelet recovery, data on platelet engraftment using the same criteria are not available. Four cycles of daratumumab- and lenalidomide-based quadruplet induction therapy had a minimal impact on stem cell mobilization and allowed predictable stem cell harvesting and engraftment in all patients who underwent ASCT. Upfront plerixafor strategy may be considered, but many patients were successfully collected with the use of G-CSF alone or rescue plerixafor.

Abstract
We describe here a 56-years -old woman cured in our institution for an acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and a monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). In order to treat AML, underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation in second complete remission. Four years after transplant, MGUS evolved to multiple myeloma and was intensively treated with "autologous" transplant after successful mobilization. This report illustrates: (i) a lack of efficacy of graft versus myeloma effect in a patient probably cured of AML by graft versus leukaemia effect; (ii) the ability to mobilize peripheral blood stem cells in order to perform "autologous" transplantation after allogeneic transplantation.

The significance of upfront autologous stem cell transplantation for high-intermediate/high-risk stage IV diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Cancer Rep (Hoboken) 2023; 6:e1786. [PMID: 36855295 PMCID: PMC10075296 DOI: 10.1002/cnr2.1786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Revised: 12/03/2022] [Accepted: 12/31/2022] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common (30%-35%) type of B-cell lymphoma. Only about 60% of all newly diagnosed advanced-stage DLBCL can be completely treated with x6 R-CHOP. High-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the first remission (upfront auto-HSCT) can serve as an option to improve a prognosis in these patients. AIMS This trial aimed to improve prognosis in DLBCL by upfront auto-HSCT. METHODS AND RESULTS A group of 105 patients: DLBCL NOS, age 18-65, stage IV, IPI ≥2, CR/PR after x6 R-CHOP/DA-EPOCH-R from 2010 to 2019 at NMRC of Oncology named after N.N.Petrov of MoH of Russia was retrospectively analyzed. The HSCT group included patients with upfront HDCT followed by auto-HSCT (n = 35). The control group included patients with non-invasive follow-up after induction (n = 70). Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), response rate and relapse rate. The 3-year OS (p = .013) and 3-year PFS (p = .033) were significantly higher in the HSCT group. The 3-year OS was decreased by the occurrence of relapse (p ≤ .001) and weight loss (B-symptom) (p = .04). DEL was the negative prognostic factor for 3-year PFS in all patients (p = .001) and control group (p = .001). DA-EPOCH-R significantly increased the 3-year PFS (p = .041). CONCLUSION Upfront HDCT followed by auto-HSCT can increase 3-year OS and PFS and improve prognosis in DLBCL NOS, age 18-65, stage IV, IPI ≥2 patients.

Stem Cell Mobilization for Multiple Myeloma Patients Receiving Daratumumab-Based Induction Therapy: A Real- World Experience. Transplant Cell Ther 2023; 29:340.e1-340.e4. [PMID: 36804934 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2023.02.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023]
Abstract
For patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) undergoing high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT-ASCT), hematopoietic stem cell mobilization can be affected by induction chemotherapy. In clinical trials, the addition of daratumumab (dara) to a triplet backbone lowered hematopoietic stem cell yield, necessitating the administration of plerixafor to achieve the desired yield for ASCT. Here we describe our experience of stem cell mobilization and collection after dara-based and non-dara-based induction regimens. This single-center retrospective analysis included patients with newly diagnosed MM who had received induction chemotherapy and were candidates for upfront HDT-ASCT. Based on the induction regimen used, patients were divided into 2 groups, RVd (lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone) and DRVd (RVd with the addition of dara). Based on our institutional practice, patients received pegylated growth colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) on day -3 (at 0900 hours) in combination with plerixafor on day -1 (at 2300 hours) as a preemptive mobilization strategy. Patients continued apheresis for 1 to 3 days until the goal dose of hematopoietic stem cells was collected (2.5 × 106 cells/kg for one ASCT and 5.0 × 106 cells/kg for 2 ASCTs). Patients with a suboptimal stem cell yield on day 1 received additional doses of plerixafor with or without G-CSF. A total of 101 patients with newly diagnosed MM who underwent mobilization between July 2021 and June 2022 were analyzed. The median patient age was 61 years (range, 36 to 80 years), and 51.5% of the cohort was female. Patients received a median of 5 (range, 2 to 12) cycles of induction chemotherapy, with a median of 4 (range, 2 to 12) cycles of DRVd and 6 (range, 3 to 12) cycles of RVd. The median number of CD34+ cells collected in the DRVd and the RVd groups was 6.54 × 106/kg and 6.78 × 106/kg, respectively. Target CD34+ stem cells were collected in a median of 1 day (range, 1 to 4 day) in each group. On average, more patients in the DRVd group compared to the RVd group received additional doses of plerixafor (51% versus 43%) and additional doses of GCSF (19% versus 14%) to achieve the target stem cell yield. There were no mobilization failures or grade 3+ mobilization-related adverse events reported in either group. The addition of daratumumab to the RVd induction regimen did not lead to any clinically significant differences in stem cell yield or number of collection days, provided that the patient received preemptive G-CSF and plerixafor. Patients with suboptimal collection on day 1 were able to collect adequate stem cells with additional doses of plerixafor with or without G-CSF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) harvest apheresis and leukapheresis are performed in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) for high-risk pediatric patients who require procedural sedation. Patients need central access either with their own central lines, ports or require apheresis catheter (CVL) placement. Previously, patients were either awake or emerging from sedation on PICU admission. Uncertainty regarding procedural sedation plans caused delays initiating sedation and apheresis. A guideline was developed to standardize Dexmedetomidine (DEX) for procedural sedation. We investigated if guideline implementation would improve efficiency during PICU admission as demonstrated by shorter time intervals for initiation of sedation, apheresis, PICU length of stay and less alternative sedating medication. METHODS Data was collected retrospectively from electronic health records of preguideline and post-guideline patients who were admitted to the PICU for sedated apheresis. We compared demographic and clinical characteristics, time intervals for sedation, apheresis, PICU length of stay, and sedation agents between the two groups using Fisher Exact tests and Mann-Whitney tests, as appropriate. RESULTS The groups did not differ in age or weight at the time of apheresis. All intervals of time compared were shorter post-guideline. Time intervals from admission to start of sedation, admission to start of apheresis, and admission to end of apheresis were statistically significantly different. The type and number of alternative sedating medications administered did not differ between the two groups. CONCLUSION This guideline implementation improved efficiency during PICU admission. This study might have been too small to demonstrate statistically significant differences in other time intervals studied.

Abstract
Cellular therapies hold enormous potential for the cure of severe hematological and oncological disorders. The forefront of innovative gene therapy approaches including therapeutic gene editing and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation needs to be processed by good manufacturing practice to ensure safe application in patients. In the present study, an effective transfection protocol for automated clinical-scale production of genetically modified hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) using the CliniMACS Prodigy® system including the CliniMACS Electroporator (Miltenyi Biotec) was established. As a proof-of-concept, the enhancer of the BCL11A gene, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) target in ongoing clinical trials for β-thalassemia and sickle-cell disease treatment, was disrupted by the CRISPR-Cas9 system simulating a large-scale clinical scenario, yielding 100 million HSPCs with high editing efficiency. In vitro erythroid differentiation and high-performance liquid chromatography analyses corroborated fetal hemoglobin resurgence in edited samples, supporting the feasibility of running the complete process of HSPC gene editing in an automated closed system.

Day -1 CD34+ Cells and Platelet Count Predict the Number of Apheresis in Poor-Mobilizer Patients Rescued by Plerixafor. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12020618.

Abstract
Plerixafor is widely used as up-front treatment with G-CSF to enhance peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell output in patients failing previous mobilizations. Less frequently, plerixafor is used to rescue an unsatisfactory mobilization following chemotherapy (CT) and G-CSF. This study investigates if pre-collection factors affect the CD34+ cell harvest in chemotherapy and G-CSF mobilizations rescued by plerixafor. Clinical and hematological data relative to patients, mobilization, and apheresis products were retrospectively examined. The outcome was completing a target cell dose ≥ 2 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg at first apheresis. The effect exerted on the outcome by patient- and disease-related factors was investigated by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The analysis included data from 42 patients affected by hematological (39 patients) and non-hematological malignancies (three patients). Twenty-nine patients (69%) attained the target cell dose at first apheresis. Twelve out of the remaining 13 patients received an additional plerixafor administration, and all accomplished the transplant dose at a second apheresis procedure. Day -1 CD34+ PB count (OR1.46, 95% CI 1.1-1.9, p = 0.008) and platelet count (OR1.0, 95% CI 1.0-1.0, p = 0.033) predicted the achievement of the target dose at first apheresis, independently of pre-mobilization CT, radiation therapy, and disease status at mobilization. At ROC curve analysis, the best cut-off value predicting the successful collection at first apheresis was 7.5/µL for Day -1 CD34+ cell count (AUC 0.830, 0.69 sensitivity, and 0.92 specificity) and 75 × 109/L for Day -1 platelet count (AUC = 0.736, 0.65 sensitivity and 0.85 specificity). In conclusion, on-demand plerixafor rescue allows a successful stem cell collection, irrespectively of disease type and status, prior CT lines, and radiation exposure. Pre-apheresis CD34+ cells and platelet count predict the need for one or two aphereses.

Abstract
(1) Background: High-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard consolidation strategy for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) and for a subset of patients with relapsed/refractory disease. For stem cell mobilization, G-CSF alone or in combination with chemotherapy mobilizing agents and/or plerixafor are commonly used. Ixazomib is an oral proteasome inhibitor with less neurotoxic potential, which previously showed the ability to mobilize stem cells in preclinical studies. (2) Methods: Prospective single-center phase 1 study assessing the efficacy and safety of stem cell mobilization with ixazomib and G-CSF in patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory MM undergoing HDCT and ASCT. Primary endpoint was percentage of patients achieving a yield of at least 6.0 × 106/kg CD34+ cells within the first apheresis. G-CSF (filgrastim) 10 μg/kg/day was administered subcutaneously (s.c.) from day 1 to day 5 (planned apheresis) and ixazomib 4 mg orally at day 4. Plerixafor 24 mg s.c. was administered if the stem cell mobilization with ixazomib and G-CSF was not sufficient. (3) Results: 19 patients were treated within the study between 06/2020 and 02/2021. The primary endpoint was reached in 17 (89%) patients, with a median of 7.1 × 106/kg CD34+ cells collected within the first apheresis, comparable to previously published results, and only 2 (11%) patients required a second apheresis. Median number of circulating CD34+ cells was 14.0 × 106/L (2.0-95.2) before the administration of ixazomib, and 33.0 × 106/L (4.2-177.0) pre-apheresis. However, 9 (47%) patients required the addition of plerixafor to ensure optimal stem cell collection. (4) Conclusions: The combination of ixazomib and G-CSF showed promising stem cell mobilizing activity in patients with MM prior to HDCT and ASCT. Future larger studies might further investigate the role of ixazomib in stem cell mobilization regimens for MM.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although plerixafor in association with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) can improve mobilization and collection of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) by leukapheresis, cost may limit its clinical application. The present study systematically reviews economic evaluations of plerixafor plus G-CSF usage compared to G-CSF alone and compares different strategies of plerixafor utilization in multiple myeloma and lymphoma patients eligible for autologous HSC transplantation. AREAS COVERED Relevant economic evaluations, partial or complete, were searched on PubMed, Embase, LILACS, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for a period ending 30 June 2021. This systematic review was reported following the PRISMA Statement. Six economic evaluations were included, considering the use of upfront or just-in-time plerixafor compared to G-CSF alone or other plerixafor strategies. Most comparisons showed both increased cost and health benefits with the addition of plerixafor. Most analyses favored just-in-time plerixafor compared to upfront plerixafor, with a probable preference for broader cutoffs for just-in-time plerixafor initiation. EXPERT OPINION Plerixafor is a potentially cost-effective technology in the mobilization of HSC in patients with multiple myeloma and lymphomas eligible for autologous HSC transplantation. There is a decreased number of leukapheresis sessions and remobilizations and a higher yield of CD34+ cells.

Impact of Mobilization Strategies on Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Collection Efficiency and Product Quality: A Retrospective Single-Center Study. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14246259. [PMID: 36551743 PMCID: PMC9777066 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14246259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Autologous stem cell transplantation is routinely used in the management of several hematological diseases, solid tumors, and immune disorders. Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collection performed by apheresis is the preferred source of stem cells. In this study, the potential impact of mobilization regimens on the performance of the Spectra Optia® continuous mononuclear cell collection system was evaluated. We performed a retrospective data analysis for patients undergoing autologous PBSC collection at the Medical University Vienna, Vienna General Hospital between September 2016 and June 2018. Collections were divided into two main groups according to the mobilization regimen received: without (210 collections) or with (99 collections) plerixafor. Assessed variables included product characteristics and collection efficiency (CE). Overall, product characteristics were similar between the groups. Median CD34+ CE2 was 50.1% versus 53.0%, and CE1 was 66.9% versus 69.9% following mobilization without and with plerixafor, respectively; the difference was not statistically significant. Simple linear regression showed a very weak positive correlation between the mobilization method and CE1 or CE2 (mobilization with plerixafor increased CE2 by 4.106%). In conclusion, the Spectra Optia® apheresis system led to high CE and a good quality of PBSC products when mobilization regimens with or without plerixafor were used.
